MEET DR. AIMIE APIGIAN

From skeptical surgeon to trauma pioneer

BOOK DR. AIMIE FOR YOUR EVENT

As a double board-certified physician, Dr. Aimie brings science, personal experience, and compassion to reframe trauma—not as an emotional flaw, but as a biological injury with a clear path to healing.
See how Dr. Aimie is changing the conversation on trauma. 

A REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH BORN FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

Turning personal struggle into groundbreaking science

Dr. Aimie’s journey into trauma biology began during medical school as a foster and adoptive mother, where she witnessed how traditional approaches often failed. After her own health crash during surgical residency in 2014, she set out to understand trauma beyond emotion—discovering it as a biological injury stored in cells, disrupting the nervous system, and hijacking healing processes.
 

Her guiding philosophy, “Living with Open Hands and Open Heart,” reflects the shift from guarding against life’s pain to meeting it with presence, trust, and resilience.

“Dr. Aimie continues to bridge the gap between cutting-edge science and accessible healing, helping others discover that lasting change happens not by working against our bodies, but by understanding and partnering with them.”

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT DR. AIMIE

"Dr. Aimie's 'The Biology of Trauma' brilliantly illustrates what I've emphasized throughout my career—that health emerges from the dynamic interaction between our genes, environment, and experiences. By meticulously mapping how trauma affects oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, and immune regulation, she provides a scientifically rigorous explanation for conditions that have long puzzled conventional medicine. Her framework for biological repair honors the body's innate capacity for self-regulation when given the right conditions. This work represents a significant advancement in our understanding of the matrix of factors that influence health and disease, offering both clinicians and patients a pathway toward genuine transformation."
